    摘要: Hydrogen peroxide water and, if necessary, sulfuric acid and/or water, are added to a sulfuric acid solution in a storage tank of an electrolytic sulfuric acid solution manufacturing system to enhance the oxidizing power of the sulfuric acid solution supplied to an electrolytic cell to perform electrolysis. The manufacturing system starts up during an initial operation after completion of the system, or after replacement of a sulfuric acid-containing solution in the system, or during an operation after the concentration of a persulfuric acid component in the sulfuric acid solution stored in the system decreases due to shutdown of the system, or other similar situations. By starting up the manufacturing system in this manner, the startup of the system, which manufactures an electrolytic sulfuric acid solution containing a persulfuric acid component generated by electrolyzing sulfuric acid, can be completed in a short time, and the energy consumption can be reduced.

    摘要: Method and apparatus for generating an acid or base, e.g. for chromatographic analysis of anions. For generating a base the method includes the steps of providing a cation source in a cation source reservoir, flowing an aqueous liquid stream through a base generation chamber separated from the cation source reservoir by a barrier (e.g. a charged membrane) substantially preventing liquid flow while providing a cation transport bridge, applying an electric potential between an anode cation source reservoir and a cathode in the base generation chamber to electrolytically generate hydroxide ions therein and to cause cations in the cation source reservoir to electromigrate and to be transported across the barrier toward the cathode to combine with the transported cations to form cation hydroxide, and removing the cation hydroxide in an aqueous liquid stream as an effluent from the first base generation chamber. Suitable cation sources include a salt solution, a cation hydroxide solution or cation exchange resin.
